Antonio Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Considering buying something new, love the new MM but was asking Joshua about a few spare things I need and mentioning my interest in the BP. His response was that there would be "something interesting in a few weeks". He's teased me that way before, this has me ready to order now. Keep your eyes peeled!

lazarini Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Interesting ... lets see how plausible this info. is ... not to be skeptical but need to see it to believe it and even then if it comes out it has to be 1:1 or as close to that as possible to make me consider getting one ... regards Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 When it comes, we'll see it. In the mean time, just lay back and enjoy the view of ajoesmith's avatar. Yup... his avatar is awesome. Does anybody know who she is.... Yor are right Laz. A Big Pilot is something i would want but not at the standard that they repped the Port Auto 7 Days. That was just downright horrible. Not even close..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1127 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 yea, I would love to see a bp too, but the problem remains of repping a movement with a 7 DAY power reserve. Not saying it cant be dont (remember the days before the invention of asian 7750 chrono's) but It's alot harder then it sounds. I am skeptical, but we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it cant be dont (remember the days before the invention of asian 7750 chrono's) but It's alot harder then it sounds. I am skeptical, but we shall see For me the 7 days power reserve doesn't need to be actually working as long as the hand on the PR subdial moves back from 7 days to less and winding the watch will get it back to 7 days. More important will be the proper positioning of the PR subdial and the date @6 without sunken datewheels. And off course a dial with lume on the (thinned) 3, 6,9 and 12 markers. So we'll see........

jot9011 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 If they are able to fabricate a reliable 7-day PR movement doesn't it follow that other watches,..... like the Big Ingenieur, would be forth-coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Maybe this will scratch that Big Pilot itch: ...only $12.49 with Buy it Now on the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I can't wait for the Big Pilot. I picked up a slew of new reps, which I am very excited about (namely, the AP ROO)... But the Big Pilot is certainly one of my faves! Hopefully the new vintage line will show up, too: Ingenieur, Aquatimer, Mark IX, Portuguese etc...

piratedzeus Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 1-2 months.... faux PR.... 1:1 case.... sounds good & cheap to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am not so bothered if the watch has 7 days PR as long as the indicator shows 7 days when fully wound and goes to zero when empty, but if it does not move at all i wont be buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I hope that it's got PR of some sort, even if it's just 3-4 days. Yup... his avatar is awesome. Does anybody know who she is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
